How Can GSA Protect Its Federal Building Portfolio Against Natural Disaster Trends

Published in Federal News Radio: Looking back on a year of severe hurricanes and wildfires, the General Services Administration wants to know how it can best prepare its federal building portfolio against natural disaster trends. Looking ahead, GSA is also looking at reducing its fossil fuel footprint by developing more net-zero facilities powered by renewable, zero-emission energy sources. Its NetZero Energy challenge aims to have all federal buildings reduce their fossil fuel-generated energy use to zero by 2030. NBI has been tracking the growth of net-zero emission building projects since 2010 and recently reported that there are more 500 net-zero certified building projects in the U.S. and Canada.
